The third annual “Families Striding to Help Families” Fundraiser will take place on Saturday, October 27th, 2007 in Tewksbury from 8:00am to 2:00pm, with the runners starting at 9:30am, and the walkers starting at 10:00am. The fundraiser, consisting of a 3-mile run / family walk-a-thon and a ‘street festival’ will be located at the Livingston Street Recreation area. The walking route commences at the Livingston Street Recreation area and then proceeds to Chandler Street and East Street, and circles back to the beginning.

For children of all ages and abilities, there will be games, activities, and surprises, including inflatable bouncers, characters (like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Dora, Spiderman, Shrek and Others), personalities (including John' The Magic Dude'), balloon twisters, train rides, face painting, and photo opportunities.

This year’s walk will prove to be a little more colorful than past events. Children are invited to dress in costumes for the “Monster March” which is a short “parade” within the safe Livingston Park area commencing at approximately 1:00pm .

Proceeds raised from this event will be used toward seminars, certified educational opportunities and training in Special Education topics for parents, caregivers, teachers and aides, and to develop and host extracurricular activities for Special Education students that cannot compete in mainstream activities due to disabilities. Scholarships and grants are also made several times throughout the year.
